FKIE_CVE-2026-20479
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-03 03:16 - Updated: 2026-08-19 17:17
Severity
Summary
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY00741071; Issue ID: MSV-7620.
